BEST IVORY FROM AFRICA. Ivory comes from hippopotamus teeth, walrus tusks, narwhal horns, whales' teeth and boars' tusks. At present ivory costs about $7,200 a ton ; the price of billiard ball ivory has reached the record figure of 5860 a hundredweight. The best ivory comes from Africa. Mammoth tasks are found in extraordinary al•undance in Siberia principally, but they are not very highly esteem- ed, though they run to an enorm- ous size and indeed hold the record, being sometimes twelve feet long and weighing 200 pounds. The na- tives of Africa regard ivory as the standard of wealth and store it up in their villages for hundreds of years, constantly adding to their stock, and thus the supply con- tinues and will continue for many years. still. or trouble of this kind abso- lutely the best thing in the world is Dr. Williams' Pink Pills.

I learn with profound regret (writes a Westminster Gazette cor- respondent) that H. H., the Ma- harajah Gaekwar of Baroda has melted down and converted into bullion the celehated gold and sil- ver cannon of Baroda. I say "with 1•rofound regret" for sentimental reasons. Of these costly but useless toys, the silver guns were the inspiration of the former Gaekwar. In order to "go ono better" than his prede- cessor, the late Gaekwar (ho who was charged in 1875 with the at- tempted murder of Col. Phayre), had the gold guns cast and mounted at a cost, it is said, of £100,000. They reposed in the state armory and wero the wonder and admira- tion of all visitors to the capital. On State occasions, however - such as coronations, marriages, etc. -the gold and silver guns were always brought out to take part in the procession. They were "horsed" by teams of magnificent white ox- en, which were fittingly caparison- ed, i.e., in cloth of gold for the gold guns and cloth of silver for the sil- ger guns. The native gunners and drivers regarded their charges as sacred ane the writer has seen offerings of rice, fruit, fowls, etc., deposited upon the muzzles of these weapons (i} in the Baroda barraeks. Such cfterings have now "had their day and ceased to be." For the present Maharajah-Baekwar happens to be a man of both practical politics and pi actised economy, and he would not maintain the "guns" for mere- ly sentimental reason. 0 earTallis„. 7. Singer First Cost is the Whole Cost 9 Of coursa you can buy a sewing machino for less money than you would pay for a Singer—all the world knows that. But consider this: When a Singer is bought atilt -mi paid for, it LI paid for --it lasts tt lifetime. J A cheap machine is never paid for. Every cent expended for repairs must be added to the original cost—it's an endless system of instnlment3. These instalments, added to the first cost of the machine, soon ex- ceed the cot of a Singer, and after each successive repair (if you can get another part) the cheap machine grows more and more second-hand -- one step nearer tho junk heap. • The time lost, the trouble and the worry outweigh many times over the difference in the cost between the "cheap" machino and the Singer. Q There are two kinds of machines—good and bad—and the good kind is the Singer.
